AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
339 AM EDT TUE APR 10 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF DRY COLD FRONTS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
REGION TONIGHT. BREEZY CONDITIONS AND NOTICEABLE COOLING WILL
RESULT FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. A WARMING TREND WILL BEGIN
FRIDAY AND CONTINUE INTO NEXT WEEK AS AN UPPER RIDGE BUILDS OVER
THE AREA.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 3 AM TUESDAY...WEAK CFP EARLY THIS MORNING...WILL BE
FOLLOWED BY YET ANOTHER DRY CFP LATE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.
MODELS INDICATE SOME MOISTURE ACCOMPANYING THIS NEXT COLD FRONT.
COULD NOT FIND ANY WEAK IMPULSES/VORTICIES WITHIN THE W TO NW FLOW
ALOFT TO AID IN ANY TYPE OF POSSIBLE CONVECTION. WILL INDICATE SOME
CLOUDINESS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT BUT NOT THE HIGHER AMOUNT THAT
MODELS ARE SHOWING. THIS WILL RESULT IN PARTLY CLOUDY FOR SKY
CONDITIONS AT ITS WORST. THE SFC PG WILL QUIKLY RE-TIGHTEN AHEAD OF
THIS NEXT COLD FRONT...AND REMAIN TIGHTENED AFTER ITS PASSAGE
TONIGHT. MODELS INDICATE WESTERLY WINDS IN THAT 10 TO 20 MPH
SUSTAINED RANGE...WITH GUSTS 25 TO 30 MPH...WITH THESE HIGHER GUSTS
ALONG THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OR BOUNDARY OF THE ILM CWA. STAYED
CLOSER TO THE HIGHER MODEL MOS GUIDANCE FOR MAX TEMPS TODAY. WITH
THE CFP LATER THIS EVENING...DECIDED TO LEAN TOWARD MODEL MOS
GUIDANCE THAT IS ON THE LOWER SIDE FOR LOWS TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 AM TUESDAY...CHILLY PERIOD ON TAP WITH REGION REMAINING
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG EAST COAST LONGWAVE 5H
TROUGH. DEEP WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW AND CONVERGENCE ALOFT ENHANCED
BY EXITING 5H TROUGH AXIS WILL KEEP THE REGION DRY. SKIES WILL
REMAIN MOSTLY CLEAR THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES HOVERING AROUND A QUARTER INCH AND STRONG SUBSIDENCE PRESENT.

BIG CONCERN WILL BE THE UNSEASONABLY COOL TEMPERATURES. COLD
ADVECTION FOLLOWING THE TUE NIGHT FRONT STARTS TO WANE WED
AFTERNOON...BUT NOT BEFORE A SIGNIFICANT COOL DOWN. DESPITE FULL SUN
ON WED TEMPS WILL STRUGGLE TO BREAK 60. DEEP MIXING AND STRONG WINDS
ALOFT WILL MAKE FOR BREEZY CONDITIONS WED. GUSTS AROUND 20 MPH WILL
BE POSSIBLE.

OF MORE IMPORTANCE WED NIGHT LOWS WILL FLIRT WITH FREEZING INLAND.
DESPITE -2C 850 TEMPS AND PARTIAL THICKNESS VALUES HEARKENING BACK TO
LATE JANUARY THINK THE AREA WILL ESCAPE A FREEZE...AT LEAST FOR WED
NIGHT. GRADIENT SHOULD SUPPORT WINDS ALL NIGHT...BOUNDARY LAYER
WIND SPEEDS EXPECTED TO BE HIGHER THAN 10 KT. THERE ARE ALSO A FEW
FACTORS SOME OF THE GUIDANCE MAY NOT FULLY GRASP. FOR STARTERS WHAT
IMPACT WILL THE WARM SOIL TEMPS ACROSS THE CENTRAL US PLAY IN
MODIFYING THE AIR MASS. LOCALLY SOIL TEMPERATURES ARE WELL ABOVE
CLIMO...TRESS HAVE LEAFED OUT MEANING EVAPOTRANSPIRATION WILL BE
ADDING SOME MOISTURE OVERNIGHT. ADDITIONALLY THE LEAVES ON THE TREES
MAY LIMIT WHAT LITTLE RADIATIONAL COOLING COMPONENT THERE IS. AS IT
STANDS THE LATEST TEMP FORECAST FOR WED NIGHT KEEPS LOWS ABOVE
FREEZING. ALSO NOT SOLD ON FROST POTENTIAL. IF BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS
ARE AS STRONG AS EXPECTED DO NOT EXPECT TO SEE MUCH IN THE WAY OF
FROST THU MORNING.

CANADIAN HIGH MOVES OVERHEAD LATE THU WITH APRIL SUN WORKING TO
MODIFY THE AIR MASS. ALTHOUGH THE AIR MASS IS WARMING TEMPERATURES
WILL START OUT LOWER THU MORNING. THE NET RESULT IS HIGHS VERY
SIMILAR TO WED...THOUGH WITHOUT THE GUSTY WINDS IT WILL FEEL WARMER.
FREEZING TEMPS WILL BE A REAL CONCERN THU NIGHT. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT
THU NIGHT WITH RIDGE AXIS CLOSE BY AND SKIES REMAIN CLEAR. THE ONLY
POTENTIAL SAVING GRACE WILL COME IN THE FORM OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL
FACTORS MENTIONED ABOVE CONCERNING WED NIGHT. PARTIAL THICKNESS
VALUES SUGGEST A STRONG POSSIBILITY OF LOWS AT OR BELOW FREEZING FOR
AN HOUR OR 2 AWAY FROM THE COAST. ALSO THINK FROST MAY BE AN ISSUE
AWAY FROM THE COAST. HAVE ADDED PATCHY FROST BUT THIS MAY NEED TO BE
INCREASED TO AREAS OR EVEN WIDESPREAD DEPENDING ON HOW THE FORECAST
SHAKES OUT.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 3 AM TUESDAY...REGION QUICKLY TRANSITIONS TO A SUMMER LIKE
PATTERN AS HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS OFFSHORE UNDER A BUILDING 5H RIDGE.
EXTENDED PERIOD CONTINUES TO LOOK DRY WITH SUBSIDENCE UNDER THE
BUILDING RIDGE ALOFT MORE THAN OFFSETTING THE GRADUAL LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE RETURN OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK. SKIES WILL
CONTINUE TO BE CLEAR TO MOSTLY CLEAR LEAVING MAINLY A TEMPERATURES
FORECAST. SURFACE HIGH OVERHEAD FRI SHIFTS OFFSHORE OVERNIGHT WITH
WEAK WARM ADVECTION DEVELOPING. HIGHS FRI WILL BE NEAR TO SLIGHTLY
BELOW CLIMO THOUGH WARMER THAN WED/THU. FRI NIGHT LOOKS TRICKY AS
GRADIENT REMAINS LIGHT AND LOW LEVEL COLD AIR TENDS TO HANG AROUND
ONE LAST NIGHT. ALTHOUGH 850 TEMPS WARM FRI NIGHT THE LOW LEVEL
THICKNESS VALUES MORE OR LESS HOLD STEADY AND SUGGEST LOWS IN THE
MID 40S. SAT AND BEYOND THE WARM UP IS ON WITH LOW AND MID LEVEL
WARM ADVECTION ENHANCED BY SUBSIDENCE ALOFT AND TEMPERATURES
CLIMBING ABOVE TO WELL ABOVE CLIMO.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 06Z...MOSTLY QUIET WEATHER ON TAP WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR VFR
CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL. SOUTH-SOUTHWEST WINDS AOB 10 KTS INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS WILL GRADUALLY VEER TO THE WEST-NORTHWEST IN
ASSOCIATION WITH A WEAK CFP DURING THESE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
BOUNDARY LAYER REMAINS WELL MIXED OVERNIGHT AND WITH LIMITED LOW
MOISTURE...FOG WILL NOT BE A PROBLEM.

AFTER SEVERAL HOURS AFTER DAYBREAK...WEST-NORTHWEST WINDS WILL
INCREASE TO 14 TO 18 KT SUSTAINED WITH GUSTS 20-27 KT ACROSS ALL
TERMINALS AND WILL CONTINUE THRUOUT THE AFTERNOON. THE COASTAL
TERMINALS MAY SEE DIRECTIONS SLIGHTLY BACKING TO A SW OR WSW
DIRECTION. THE GUSTS WILL TAPER OFF AFTER SUNSET TUESDAY.
FEW/SCT MID TO HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS WILL SLOWLY INFILTRATE INTO SITES
BY LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING...BECOMING BKN TOWARD THE END OF THE
VALID PERIOD.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...EXPECT VFR THROUGH VALID PERIOD.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 3 AM TUESDAY...SFC PG TO TIGHTEN LATER TODAY AS A COLD FRONT
DROPS SOUTHEAST...REACHING THE WATERS DURING THIS EVENING...AND
MOVING WELL OFFSHORE BY DAYBREAK WEDNESDAY. MODELS INDICATE THE BEST
WINDS OVER THE WATERS TO OCCUR AFTER THE CFP LATER THIS EVENING.
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE TO QUICKLY RIDGE IN BEHIND THE DEPARTING COLD
FRONT. LOOK FOR THE HIGHER WINDS TO OCCUR AFTER FROPA FROM A
TIGHTENED SFC PG ALONG WITH SOME EXCELLENT COLD AIR ADVECTION. THESE
2 COULD PUSH WINDS/SEAS TO SCEC THRESHOLDS OR POSSIBLY EVEN UP TO
SCA THRESHOLDS.

THE STRONGER WINDS DURING TODAY WILL LIE ACROSS THE MAINLAND WHICH
AT TIMES WILL BLEED INTO THE NEARSHORE COASTAL WATERS. THIS COULD BE
1 OF THOSE OCCURRENCES WHERE SEAS ARE ACTUALLY HIGHER ALONG THE NEAR
SHORE WATERS THAN THE OUTER WATERS WITHOUT THE AID OF A SEA BREEZE.
SEAS GENERALLY TO RUN 2 TO 4 FT...EXCEPT UP TO 5 FT OFF CAPE FEAR
LATER TONIGHT.

SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 AM TUESDAY...PERIOD WILL BE MARKED BY DECREASING NORTHWEST
FLOW AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS SOUTH FROM CENTRAL CANADA. 15 TO 20 KT
OFFSHORE FLOW WED MORNING CONTINUES INTO THE AFTERNOON BEFORE SPEEDS
START TO DROP AS GRADIENT BRIEFLY RELAXES WED EVENING. SPEEDS PICK
BACK UP LATE WED NIGHT AS 1 FINAL SURGE OF COLD AIR ARRIVES. DO NOT
THINK WINDS WILL REACH A SUSTAINED 20 KT SO AT THIS POINT LOOKS LIKE
SCEC HEADLINES MAY NOT BE NEEDED. SURGE EASES LATE THU MORNING IN
RESPONSE TO GRADIENT RELAXING. OFFSHORE FLOW DROPS INTO THE 10 TO 15
KT RANGE BY THU AFTERNOON WITH SPEEDS CONTINUING TO DECREASE AND
VEER TO NORTHEAST LATE THU NIGHT. STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW WED AND WED
NIGHT MAY RESULT IN SEAS BRIEFLY TOUCHING 5 FT IN THE VICINITY OF 20
NM BUT OTHER WISE SEAS WILL RUN 2 TO 4 FT. AS SPEEDS START TO
DECREASE THU SEAS WILL DIMINISH...DROPPING TO 3 FT OR LESS BY MIDDAY
AND UNDER 3 FT THU NIGHT.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 3 AM TUESDAY...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WATERS FRI DRIFTS SLOWLY
EAST FRI NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. AS THIS HAPPENS LOW LEVEL LIGHT
OFFSHORE FLOW FRI WILL BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE INTO SAT. SEAS MAY
RUN 2 TO 3 FT AT THE START OF THE PERIOD BUT DROP TO 2 FT OR LESS
FRI AFTERNOON INTO SAT. HIGH MOVES FARTHER OFF THE COAST SAT WITH
LIGHT SOUTHERLY FLOW DEVELOPING. SEAS MAY EXPERIENCE A SLIGHT BUMP
FROM THE DEVELOPING SOUTHERLY FLOW LATE IN THE PERIOD...BUT 3 FT OR
LESS SHOULD COVER IT.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
AS OF 3 AM TUESDAY...RED FLAG WARNING RAISED FOR THE 6
NORTHERNMOST COUNTIES WITHIN THE ILM CWA. MIN RH FIELDS WILL MEET
THE REQUIRED THRESHOLDS FOR RAISING A RFW...HOWEVER SUSTAINED
WINDS AT 20+ MPH AN/OR WIND GUSTS 30+ MPH HAVE BEEN THE PROBLEM
CHILD. THE BEST LOCATIONS FOR THE LATTER TO OCCUR WILL LIE ACROSS
THOSE AFOREMENTIONED COUNTIES. ELSEWHERE...WILL ISSUE AN SPS FOR
INCREASED FIRE DANGER.
